Chapter 14 The Farmer’s Three Styles
Douluo calendar year 2597, summer.
In the southeast corner of Shanhai Village, a lotus pond is swaying slightly in the breeze, and its fragrance is lingering.
On the shore, Ling Yi was lying on a large bluestone, his eyes slightly closed, as if sleeping but not sleeping.
About ten feet away, Zhang Lei held the martial spirit "Hoe" in his hand, with his feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. He grabbed the exposed toes at the front of his straw sandals and at the same time raised the martial spirit "Hoe" in his hand.
At this moment, Zhang Lei's waist, steps, hands, and eyes were at the same height. A force rose from the soles of his feet. The soles of his feet drove his calves, and his calves drove his thighs. This rising force was transmitted to his waist, and his waist twisted smoothly. , conduct the power to both arms, the arms form a circle, and then the body turns into a semicircle.
“Tsk——!”
The hoe blade cut deeply into the soil, and then with the help of the rebound force from the ground, Zhang Lei held the hoe handle upwards and turned over the entire piece of soil. Come out, then turn your steps, turn the hoe blade upside down, and smash the newly dug soil with a strike.
Ling Yi, who didn’t know when he opened his eyes, looked at this scene quietly with a thoughtful look on his face.
'It took two and a half years, from five people from the Ling and Zhang families, to more than 20 people from Shanhai Village, to more than 300 people from surrounding villages, to observe their actions while working on the land...'
'Breathing, standing, twisting the waist, swinging the arms, exerting muscle force...'
'Finally, the hoe swing in the "Farmer's Three Postures" was integrated. '
'The sickle swing for cutting wheat and the ax swing for splitting firewood are still a little bit behind -'
"We can only wait~" Ling Yi murmured softly: "Wait. After my martial soul awakens, I will find a way to gain soul power and then continue my research."
For Ling Yi, the most important thing right now is the martial soul awakening ceremony that will take place in two days.
Ling Yi had celebrated his sixth birthday more than two months ago, and this year the awakening ceremony of the unified martial arts spirit in the surrounding areas will begin two days later.
"Huh——"
Zhang Lei's martial spirit "hoe" leaned on the ground and took a long breath. His face was reddish, sweat was visible on his forehead, and he was panting lightly.
"Ayi~"
The faint gray light in the palm of his right hand flashed, and he took the martial spirit back into his body. Zhang Lei stepped to the big blue stone and sat down with joy in his eyes. , whispered: "I feel that my soul power has increased again~"
Looking back from the small half-acre of land that was reclaimed, Ling Yi looked at Zhang Lei and looked up and down.
Since the awakening of the Winter Moon Martial Spirit in the year 2594 of the Douluo Calendar, Zhang Lei, who is about to be nine years old, is now much stronger and is as tall as an average twelve or thirteen-year-old child in the village. . Muscles loomed on the arms and chest exposed by the short cardigan, making him look like a little leopard.
I follow the adults to tend the fields all year round. In my free time, I go fishing in the pond with Ling Yi, and go to the old forest in the north of the village to hunt birds and chase hares. The ample sunshine makes my skin a healthy wheat color.
On the other hand, Ling Yi, who went in and out at the same time, sunbathed a lot, but her complexion is still fair and smooth.
Listening to Zhang Lei’s words of increased soul power in a low voice, Ling Yi did not show any surprise.
Although it was heard by other people in the same village, it was probably as shocking as thunder on the ground.
Three years ago, during Zhang Lei's martial soul awakening ceremony, it was clearly tested that he had no innate soul power and was not qualified to become a soul master. But at this moment, Zhang Lei said that his soul power had increased again!
"Brother Lei~" Ling Yi put his hand on Zhang Lei's wrist, and while mobilizing his mental induction, he said: "I have said many times over the years, our body is the cornerstone of living in this world. "
"The stronger the body, the thicker the foundation, and the more nutrients it can absorb from the outside world."
"Although we don't know how to meditate like a soul master, with proper physical training and adequate nutrition, the soul power in your body will naturally grow step by step."
"Brother Lei~"< br>
Ling Yi took back her hand and looked Zhang Lei in the eyes: "After all, according to qualifications, your innate soul power is only level 0.1, or even level 0.01, even if you study step by step with those junior soul master academy students , Cultivation, I’m afraid the progress is not as good as expected——”
“I understand these~” Zhang Lei sat with his hands on the big bluestone, leaning his upper body back, looking at Ling Yi sideways, and said with a smile: "Last year, my father and I went to the market in Beikouhe Town. He was a student at a junior soul master academy, and he was still a seventh-level soul master. His strength was not as strong as mine. It was so difficult to even carry two barrels of ale..."
" Don't compare with others~" Ling Yi shook his head when he heard this, his face straightened, and he warned: "Remember, we are just a group of farmers living in the countryside, we have a lot of strength, we must not have the intention to fight with others!"< br>
"Besides, my uncle and I have inquired about that man. He is the young master of the Ethan family in the town. He has a first-level innate soul power and a martial soul of "Emerald Feathered Bird." Although it is a beast martial soul, it can enhance physical strength. There are no obvious advantages. "
"And you~" Ling Yi's voice was calm and unhurried: "Not only is he one year older, but you have been working in the fields with my grandfather and uncle for the past two years, and I have helped you with a hoe. In terms of physique and strength, there is nothing to be proud of if you are stronger than him. ”
“Remember, don’t compare with others, the one you have to win is yourself. "Ling Yi repeated again.
"Oh, I know~" Zhang Lei responded with some annoyance.
Seeing Zhang Lei's appearance, Ling Yi didn't want to upset him too much. , changing the subject, he said: "There is no time for farming right now, and there is nothing to do in the afternoon. Then come with me to go for a walk in the old forest -"
Zhang Lei raised his head, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face: "Really?!"
"I feel that as my soul power increases recently, my eyes, ears, and nose seem to have been strengthened. In line with my current situation, With such strength, the slingshot made from the branches of the "iron birch" can be fully drawn, whether it is a pheasant or a hare, it can be played one at a time! "
"Even if you encounter a wild wolf or something, it's not impossible to hunt one! "
Speaking, Zhang Lei looked eager to try.
"You——"
Ling Yi shook his head helplessly and said: "If you encounter wild wolves, safety comes first. Those guys all move in groups. The two of us can't defeat them with two slingshots..."
"No. And Ah Huang and Miaomiao~" Zhang Lei said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Ling Yi raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Ah Huang and Miaomiao, who are now five years old, are not as weak as five-year-old human children. With the development and growth rate of native dogs and civet cats, they have already reached adulthood, and they are in the fantasy world of Douluo Continent. , is at its peak.
At the same time, Ling Yi has influenced them with their mental power since childhood, developing their intelligence, sufficient food + strong digestive ability + beastly instinct to strengthen their body. Now Ah Huang is placed in a small pack of wolves. It can compete for the position of alpha wolf. Meow can't say it's comparable to a tiger, but it's definitely not weaker than a cheetah!
These two little guys are now the two guardian beasts that protect the village in Shanhai Village. In the past years, the wild boars, leopards, poisonous snakes, etc. that occasionally escaped from the old forest were easily taken down by the two of them without exception as long as they were discovered. .
As the two little guys have grown to this point, the two families who sold them for a river fish have become more and more precious to the remaining cats and dogs in the family, and are looking forward to which one of them can grow up to this point. The extent of Ah Huang and Meow Meow.
